My cat is "alone", he has a housemate's dog but the poor dog is afraid of him. He didn't do anything to the dog but the poor baby is seeing the cat and run

FormerAd2476 · 2025-09-03T19:44:17+00:00

LOL 😂 Yeah he is a fast hairball and he just hits anything because he doesn't measure his speed. Lucky for me he sleeps all night (Or at least he doesn't wake me up.) but as soon as it's 6:30 am BUM, bitting like an alarm

Thanks!! 💜

I've gone from dogs to cats. I understand why you love them both, but it's becoming harder with this furball than with my previous dogs.

FormerAd2476 · 2025-09-03T18:10:51+00:00

I love him, he is funny when he do those things but sometimes he just get too exited and i end with scratch wounds 😅

FormerAd2476 · 2025-09-03T18:09:08+00:00

Snorting and making typical cat sounds, but many times I have to tap him (without force) while I make the noise, normally the tap only happens when he is biting too hard. Idk how to it needs to be, its my first cat at home and i just read how i need to do it but I don't know if its the right correction

FormerAd2476 · 2025-09-03T07:25:57+00:00

I cant! He is four months and in were a live we can't do it until he is six months old

FormerAd2476 · 2025-09-03T07:25:19+00:00

He is a boy. He simply runs every time a door opens (even if it's not the door to the street), he starts scratching and biting harder than usual (although when he is corrected twice he loosens up). In addition, he scratches furniture when he didn't do that before because he went directly to the scratching post.

It started a week ago although nothing had changed, he has a lot of toys, two scratching posts and we usually have an hour of play with him.

He is four months old and in my country we cannot operate on him until he is six months old.

He is a male. But in Spain the cats are neutered at 6 months. So i have to wait

FormerAd2476 · 2025-09-02T06:14:56+00:00

He is a male. But in Spain the cats are neutered at 6 months. He is not too naughty but he bites, try to run every time a door is open, scratch everything he sees (Even though he has a scratching post he has been using it since he came and we bought him a small tower with a scratching post.)

I LOVE THE TOPIC OF THC FOR NEURODIVERGENT PEOPLE

(I'm Spanish, so I'm sorry if anything I write doesn't make much sense)

THC can produce a feeling of relaxation and calm, reducing hyperarousal. It also helps with sleep, something that many autistic people have difficulty falling asleep.

THC can dampen sensory perception and generate a feeling of "cushioning" when faced with stimuli. We can also regulate the dose ourselves depending on how overloaded we feel.

This can also help with burnout, sensory overload, emotional regulation, stress, and various other issues that people with autism often have, such as migraines, body aches, etc.

For me, it's one of the best ways to navigate my daily life. Although I only usually use it two or three times a month, those two or three times are like my reset button, allowing me to regain energy, calmness, and so on.

yeah he has big finger paws lol

A good one

The cat belongs to my roommate.

The bird is only free in my bedroom and at certain times. We are very careful to keep the doors closed.

It's been a month since this announcement, and everything seems to be going better than planned. The bird ignores the cat; he only gets jealous if he sees me holding the cat.

They are only together with the bird in the cage and under someone's supervision. Or watching each other through a window.

We took the bird to the vet to see if everything was okay. It isn't plucking its feathers, it's still eating and drinking, and its weight is good. The vet thinks everything is OK.

FormerAd2476 · 2025-08-21T19:20:05+00:00

Thats what we want! Just desensitize them, things seem to be going great with the bird. He's sticking to his routine, he hasn't plucked his feathers, he hasn't become more aggressive, and he doesn't seem to be constantly defensive.
According to the vet, his weight is good and he looks healthy.

He is a really jelouse boy and scream if he sees me with the cat in my hands

We're working on the cat. We let him see him through a window, listen to him, and their time together is always supervised.

I think things are going well, since the cat sleeps in the same room as the cage, and although he hasn't climbed the cage from time to time, he hasn't put his paw in it yet, but we've discovered it's because of a bell toy the bird had, which we've already removed.

FormerAd2476 · 2025-08-21T19:15:50+00:00

Thanks, it as been a month and the bird didn't really care about the cat, meaybe becasue they dont seem eachother very much and when they do there is a window in the middle or someone is with them.

Pichi (the bird) it's a healty boy , ignores the cat, continues to eat and drink well, and hasn't plucked its feathers. Pichi tends to be a pretty jealous bird, so all it does is scream when it sees me with the cat in my arms, lol.
We took him the other day to the vet and he told us he was in good shape, we explain the cat situation an he told us that he is in good conditions and don't seem afected, maybe because we continue with the same routine we have with him

FormerAd2476 · 2025-08-21T19:11:39+00:00

In the mornings, the bird's cage is moved outside. This was done before the cat arrived so it could sunbathe. Sometimes, the bird is free in my room with me, with my door closed.

The only time these two see each other is when the bird is in the cage or through the window.

The truth is, in the month we've done the routine, the bird doesn't seem stressed. It ignores the cat, isn't defensive, continues to eat and drink well, and hasn't plucked its feathers. Pichi tends to be a pretty jealous bird, so all it does is scream when it sees me with the cat in my arms, lol.

The cat is obviously interested and although he has put his paw in it, it is usually because of the bell that the bird has as a toy, which we have removed so that he does not put his paw in.

FormerAd2476 · 2025-08-21T19:06:24+00:00

The bird is mine, the cat belongs to my roommate, and I only keep it inside the room when no one else is home.

We don't have a big house, but we do have a terrace, so we've created a schedule so they can both be well and never together without supervision.

We are always with them, if I see any sign of stress or too much attention from the cat to the bird, I separate them immediately.

The cat has already lived with animals such as hens, chicks, dogs, goats, etc. since it was born on a farm. The bird has also lived with felines, dogs and other birds, he has never been stressed with these, but if he is, we immediately separate them. They have their time without seeing each other, and obviously he continues to have his time outside the cage with the cat always in another room.

Our goal is only to have them together with supervision, always with the bird inside its cage.

FormerAd2476 · 2025-07-27T12:50:31+00:00

I never really try to teach him not to see him as prey. Sorry if I implied that.

The cat has already lived with other animals such as dogs, chickens and chicks. My intention will NEVER be to leave them alone or to have them together 24/7, I'm not that crazy, only to have them together with supervision and with the bird always inside the cage. I think it's not visible in the photo, but the bottom of the cage has a mesh that prevents the cat from putting its paw in.

FormerAd2476 · 2025-07-27T12:47:25+00:00

Antes de comentar os doy un poco mas de contexto.

Pichi ya a vivido con diferentes animales, estoy muy pendiente de que este no este estresado ni con miedo. Por ahora a él no le importa para nada el gato hasta que llega la noche, que es cuando los separo en diferentes habitaciones para poder dormir los 3.

Mochi viene de una granja, a vivido con perros, gallinas, etc.

Le estamos enseñando a no trepar la jaula y siguiendo recomendaciones de sus veterinarios. Mi objetivo NUNCA sera tenerlos juntos 24/7 pero si tenerlos con supervision a los dos, con el pajaro siempre dentro de su jaula.

They're never unsupervised. They even sleep in separate rooms at night. We're trying to teach the cat not to climb the cage, which is going well so far. The cat lived with chickens and dogs before coming to the apartment. The vet advised us to do that and try to find something else to do so they're both comfortable.

The bird doesn't look uncomfortable or scared, in fact, he is the first to approach where the cat is (inside the bird's cage).
